The video captures a majestic eagle soaring through the sky, clutching its prey – a full-grown deer.
If you ever doubted the strength this majestic bird embodies, this footage will change your mind forever.
On average, an eagle can lift approximately half its body weight. For larger species like the bald eagle, this means carrying loads of up to 4-5 pounds.
By preying on various species, eagles help control animal populations, thus preventing overgrazing and preserving biodiversity.
While eagles are capable hunters, the act of an eagle preying on an animal as large as a deer is highly unusual.
